A day before the National Guard attack in the US capital, another alarming case surfaced in Texas.
This time it involved an Afghan man admitted under President Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome”.
The suspect, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, was arrested in Fort Worth.
He had posted a TikTok video that appeared to show him assembling an explosive device.
“The footage made it clear he was targeting the Fort Worth area,” said DHS official Tricia McLaughlin on X.
Texas authorities and the FBI picked him up on Tuesday, charging him with making terroristic threats.
But the timing is what startled officials. Less than 24 hours later, another Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, allegedly opened fire on National Guard soldiers.
This happened during a routine patrol near the Capitol. He critically injured two.
Trump Tightens Immigration
Investigators are calling it a deliberate act of terror.
Two incidents in two days — coincidence or warning sign? Either way, the political fallout has been immediate.
President Donald Trump has seized on the cases to fast-track his new immigration crackdown.
He says the US must “remove those who do not belong here”.
He’s ordered sweeping security reviews of Afghans admitted under Biden-era programs, insisting each case be reexamined one by one.
And this is only the beginning: Trump has already promised a permanent halt to migration from “third-world countries”, with more directives on the way.
The message from Washington is unmistakable — the rules of entry are about to get much tougher.
